Well, thank you for your unsolicited advice. You can spell it Palmyra if you like, depending on how you'd like to express Judeo Arameic letters in English, but it's the same place, and it was on the other side of Syria. It went to war with Rome after its agreement with them for independence was not kept to , and that you see is why I drew the comparison.
Pannonia, on the other hand was located roughly where Hungary is today and, as you will know as an accomplished classical scholar, did not go to war with Rome for independence , but was conquered by the Magyars.

I should think it's easy to confuse these two very distant and different places if you're relying on Google, but fortunately I don't have to.

Now, Dacia is the name of a province in the modern Romanian language which overlaps, but does not exactly correspond with the province which the Romans called "Daci", the ablative of which is "Dace".
